Sonus Faber Cremona what amp do you use

any help

IMHO I think that Conrad Johnson tube amplification goes great with the Cremonas. I use a CJ Art 2 preamp with a CJ Premier 140. Beautiful clear midrange, and lots of detail and different timbres. Very transparent, your source material needs to be of high sonic quality, or it will be ruthlessly exposed.
Good luck.

thanks Steve,
I am considering also cj 17lsII with ss amp like Plinius Krell or Pass

I had Pass X-350 on them before. Cremona is a litte dry on top, so is Pass. I will recommend something more liquid and airy on top, high power tube will be my recommendation.

I am using BAT VK-75SE with Amati, soon will get another pair of Cremona to play with. BAT is slightly under power for my Cremona Auditor in my 18x14 room, but sound is pristine.

I am also looking at Cremona's and currently have a McIntosh MC352. Does anyone know how well they would match up?

Thanks
Walter
